as they should be, Yu-Gi-Oh is awesome.

>HARUHI FRANCHISE IS DEAD

You couldn't kill that franchise with grizzly bear ninja assassins.

Well I hope so, Haruhi should have stopped when S01 ended, sometimes I think it was that stupid dance that made it more popular than it should.

I like this picture! :DD
I really need to know who does this song:

REALLY need to know. LOL.

ITT: massive denial by Haruhitards.

Didn't it only show in like 20-30 theaters?

0/10

[citation needed]

>>30763277
24.

Every other movie in the top 10 was shown in hundreds of theaters.

OP is just trolling people.

>>30763277

That's the goddamn point. #7 is a fantastic ranking for an anime movie that only showed in twenty-four fucking theatres.

The song in the .swf file is call on me - eric prydz

You are now realizing that Haruhi was always a franchise for otaku (unlike Evangelion which reached unbelievable popularity amongs many Japanese people) and as such, was shown in less theatres and was never expected to break any records. Thereby, seventh place in rankings isn't a failure, it's how it was expected to do.

>The top ten and amounts of theatres:
>1. Avatar (shown in 365 theatres) - same as last week
>2. Oceans (302 theaters) - same as last week
>3. Brothers (303 theaters) - same as last week
>4. Invictus (320 theatres) - new this week
>5. Golden Slumber (308 theatres) - down 1
>6. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger vs. Go-Onger Silver Screen Version (140 theatres) - down 1
>7. The Vanishment/Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (24 theatres) - new this week
>8. Lovely Borne (305 theatres) - down 2
>9. 5 Days' Sayonara (184 theatres) - down 1
>10. Paranormal Activity (160 theatres) - down 3

Disappearance did fucking amazing. OP is trolling.

Endless Eight just scared off all the normal people.
There are still tons of faggots that buy anything even remotely related to the series, and the people who actually enjoyed the novels who stick around because they like the source material.

At worst, Haruhi will be a cult hit, at best they'll start releasing normal seasons again and it'll become as popular as it always was.

>>30763404
Holy shit Avatar opened to number 1 in glorious nippon? And here I thought they hated us... and why is Avatar just opening in Japan?

>>30763404

>7. The Vanishment/Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (24 theaters) - new this week
>(24 theaters)
>#7

Holy fuck.

>>30763439
>Endless Eight just scared off all the normal people.
Normal people aren't retarded to be scared off by that.

If it only placed 8th..


But yeah. For only 24 theaters? That's really good.

I wonder if America will ever go see a foreign movie like the Japs went and saw Avatar. It will probably happen someday, I just wonder if I am alive to see it. Gonna be an interesting 50 years.

>>30763404
>>1. Avatar (shown in 365 theatres) - same as last week
This shows that japs are just as stupid as the rest of the world for having that movie on the first spot.

You are finally realizing that District 9 is not an American film.

>>30763520
>Implying Avatar is not the best movie ever made

>>30763453
Avatar is anti-American liberal propaganda. That's the only reason why it did so well overseas.

Avatar was just like Titanic which was also number one everywhere. Dunno if it was first in Japan, but remember that America still makes most of the world's movies. Holleywood isn't famous for no reason.

The best thing ever was last year when the ENTIRE WORLD had Transformers 2 as #1, except for Japan which had Evangelion 2.0

>>30763404
Holy fucking hell. 24 theaters and it placed 7th? Dear god man, that did better than films in 12 times as many theaters!

This didn't kill the franchise it just skyrocked it to the goddamn moon!

>>30763564

>Implying Avatar is not just Pocahontas in space
>Implying that being "liberal" (god americunts don't know shit about how to use ideology names)

Fuck off.Also Distric 9 is far more "libtard" and faaaaaar better than Avatar

Stop that shit asshole, nobody gives a fuck about your paranoid ideas, the movie is a fucking piece of boring shit, period, no "hidden liberal messages" everywhere.

>>30763638
Indeed, first of all, District 9 is good...

Avatar is a 2+ hour boring as shit tech demo that is created to sell 3d glasses. Nothing more...

>>30763583
>it just skyrocked it to the goddamn moon!
Can't let you do that.

>>30763678
District 9 was amazing.

ITT ronery yukifags who don't realize that Japan has already turned against the franchise and they are the last pathetic holdouts still guzzling KyoAni's cock.

>>30763712
'sup Artefact.

You are now aware that the Nanoha and UBW movie did'nt rank.

One Piece 10th movie "Strong World" with the free volume 0 can'tbe beaten (#1 in Japan).

The people who really wanted to see Haruhi went to see it. I'm sure those 24 theaters were the biggest ones with the most otaku around. Would it have a bigger box office with more screens? Yes, but how much? I wonder on that part.

Regardless, can't wait to see it when we get a cam/rip.

Fact that Haruhi even ranked means that somebody's fucking watching it.

And since I'm betting they did a good job on it, I doubt the franchise is going to die anytime soon.

>>30763712
You can stop the trolling now, nobody will fall after the facts.

>>30763555

But its fucking English. The average joe schmoe, like me, does not care who made it. I see and hear English and that is what matters. Don't you wonder how America would handle a super big move with subs? I do. Imagine seeing Avatar if you only spoke French or w/e. That is why it is so interesting to think about the future.

Aren't District 9 and Avatar mostly created in New Zealand? I know Weta did the animation for Avatar.

Random fact: Weta are a prehistoric insect that are still alive today.

>>30763520
> implying there are less normalfags in Japan than anywhere else in the world.

>>30763865
South-African you dillhole.

>>30763895
>Random fact: Weta are a prehistoric insect that are still alive today.
You nerd.

>>30763865
Inglorious Basterds did well, so did Pan's Labyrinth and Downfall

Hypothesis: The (comparatively) small audience for anime movies ALL go to see Haruhi, especially on the opening week while normalfags may or may not see normal movies, and may or may not go any particular week.

Experiment: Observe next weeks numbers. If I am correct, haruhi will be well off the charts, the rest of the top 10 will be more or less intact.

>>30763905

The language YOU dill hole. I thought that was clear when I mentioned subs and shit. Yes I know the movie was shot in New Zealand and SA. Does that not mean it was made for The US market? Was Avatar made for the Japanese market? No.

With Otakus purchasing 30 tickets a piece there's no way it won't be a success.

>>30764136

That was one guy, moron.

>>30764078
Even if Endless Eight hadn't scared off some of the fans, the numbers would still be about the same.

Haruhi's always had a smaller following than something like the Gundam franchise or Evangelion or the Ghibli films.
What it does have is a massive following from more serious anime viewers. The numbers in the theater just shows how well those guys measure up against all the normal people who go pay for movies.

>>30764152

>>30764152

>>30763959

Directed by Quentin Tarantino American
Produced by Lawrence Bender American

Yeah, it was shot in Germany. Hmm, I wonder why. Oh yeah, cause that makes sense.

My point is I wonder about a film of Avatars size being made by an Eastern film director or something. A film with subs or an obvious dub that is a hit in the States, like Avatar or Transformers is in the world.

>>30764106

Err.. They speek english in New Zealand & South-Africa

Troll away but 7th place for a non-shounen anime film shown in 24 theaters is fucking amazing.

>>30763748 You are now aware that the Nanoha and UBW movie did'nt rank.

Both still did well though. They had half as many screens as Disappearance did.

Go back to /tv/ Avatolds.

>>30764275

That's my point. Countries that speak English are much closer cultural wise compared to Japan and the US. That guy brought up that a movie filmed in NZ or SA is not "American" or a better term is "western". When they clearly are.

>>30764136
What the fuck, why?

>>30763570
>>America still makes most of the world's movies
That's India bro, Ever heard of Bollywood?
The Mecca of cinema has been Bombay for a long time.

went better than I expected

>>30764427
They are fucking crazy.

>>30764450

This is what I mean. When will we get an Indian movie? I have heard all these rumors of Bollywood but no nothing of any of its movies.

>>30763165
Is that some Invicticus I see at Number 4? I've been meaning to see that movie.

>>30764427

Because you carn't

>>30764531
You mean like Slumdog Millionaire?

>>30764532
It's pretty good, Morgan Freeman makes an AMAZING Nelson Mandela, go watch it, it's pretty awesome.

Just look out for Matt Damon, he makes THE worst South-African accent I've ever heard.

>>30764531
You get them, you just don't watch them.
If I remember correctly the last popular Bollywood movie in the U.S. was slumdog millionaire.
But I don't know if it really counts since it's not entirely Bollywood made.

>>30764531 When will we get an Indian movie? I have heard all these rumors of Bollywood but no nothing of any of its movies.

You don't want to see a Bollywood movie. They're all fucking musicals.

Im guessing the movie ended the series? :( Lame considering how weak the ending was in the series.

>>30764602

>Slumdog Director, Danny Boyle (born 20 October 1956) is a British filmmaker and producer.

I thought it would work but then I remember some big hub ub over this movie being made for a Western audience. Sure enough, looks like it was.
